What happens if you hold 1 on a microwave? Often, pressing and holding 1, 0, Stop or Cancel will either result in turning off the beeping sounds or activating a child lock feature. Can a person be microwaved? A Human Being in a Microwave Well, no matter what, it wouldn’t be a pleasant experience. But […]
What are the impacts of extinction?
What are the impacts of extinction? They may carry disease, prey on native species, and disrupt food webs. Often, they can out-compete native species because they lack local predators. An example is described in Figure below. Over-harvesting of fish, trees, and other organisms. Why is biodiversity in danger? Habitat loss from exploitation of resources, agricultural […]
Why is fertilizer dangerous?
Why is fertilizer dangerous? To grow, plants require nitrogen compounds from the soil, which can be produced naturally or be provided by fertilizers. However, applying excessive amounts of fertilizer leads to the release of harmful greenhouse gases into the atmosphere and the eutrophication of our waterways. What is the environmental impact of chemical fertilizers? Some […]
What are the odds of a head hair originating from one person to another a pubic hair?
What are three parts of an atom?
What are three parts of an atom? Our current model of the atom can be broken down into three constituents parts – protons, neutron, and electrons. Each of these parts has an associated charge, with protons carrying a positive charge, electrons having a negative charge, and neutrons possessing no net charge. What are 4 main […]

Why do Acids burn?
Why do Acids burn? An acid is a substance that separates readily into charged hydrogen ions (H+). These charged ions undergo catalytic reactions named amide/ester hydrolysis, that eventually cause the destruction of proteins and lipids in biological tissue, and therefore the chemical burn. What acid can burn through anything? A common corrosive acid is hydrochloric […]
Why is being precise important?
Why is being precise important? Precision in scientific investigations is important in order to ensure we are getting the correct results. Since we typically use models or samples to represent something much bigger, small errors may be magnified into large errors during the experiment. Precision is also important in order to ensure our safety. What […]
Does the lag time get shorter or longer the further you get from the epicenter?
Does the lag time get shorter or longer the further you get from the epicenter? Longer time lag means you are farther from the epicenter. Shorter time lag between waves means the waves are nearly on top of each other, meaning you are nearer to the epicenter. How can you prove an epicenter was where […]
What happens to a balloon when air pressure decreases?
What happens to a balloon when air pressure decreases? The ideal gas law equation tells us that the pressure of the air in the balloon will increase. As the balloon volume decreases, pressure inside the balloon increases. It eventually is able to balance the outside air pressure. You end up with a balloon filled with […]
